There is always an element of the unknown when using a rifle, particulary at night with a filter to defuse the light. Vision is limited to 100m or so although you can pick out rabbits/foxes etc initially by the eyes.

I think the key is knowing the ground you are shooting over and where not to pull the trigger.

Deposit put down on a Berretta Silver Pigeon. 12 bore, 28 inch barrels. Can't get it yet as certificate hasn't arrived and they are sending it off to have the stock altered. Being a short-a*se, with short arms to match it's got to be taken down to 13 and a half inches.

The other half is getting a Browning, which the bloke in the shop called 'a big boys gun'. Much heavier than mine and with a much bigger stock. Perfect for him though as he's 6'4".
